This is a spacious townhome located on the outskirts of the town of Estia. After the Koragashi War, the shame of her failings grew too great; Sheva decided to give her aid to those that had the hardest time of all... the small towns and villages. When she heard of the town of Estia, she knew she needed to be there. She packed all of her things and moved there.
The townhome is a two story building with living quarters on top and Shevas personal forge at the bottom. The decor is sparse and there is really nothing In it.
Edits: - Recently Sheva has added onto her home, she had the workers expand and add several rooms, The grounds of her home are littered with traps and alerts that warn Sheva quietly about unwanted visitors.
- Rooms Added: Tatami Room for Buki/Tai Training Study Hall for Nin/Gen Training Four Bedrooms Added

Sheva walked through the door of her home, though she was happy to finally be home; she was a busy girl. Her mind was constantly running though what was next. This time, she was going to do something that she enjoyed. She walked down a set of stairs and out another door which lead her to her personal forge. Everything was set up like she liked it, there was the forge and most fo the tools... she knew that she was going to have to set out to get these things. She packed a small pouch of ryo and headed to Giman to purchase what she needed.

Sheva walked from what was the Vastwood and back to her small home, though it was small... this was her space. She sat down on a chair and looked at the ground, she couldn’t believe that she had wondered into a Sage Lands. She thought about the reasearch that she had done in the past and sighed. She would have been able to defend and protect with power like that... but apparently she wasn’t ready. She thought that it was maybe time to hone her skills as a armor smith then she would revisit obtaining a greater power. She stood up, sighed and walked back to her forge. She was now determined to make something that she would be able to tempt the small rabbits with. When she walked into the forge, she realized that she didn’t have nearly any of the supplies that she would need. She pulled the three scrolls from her waistband and opened them, they contained all of her weapons and armor she took off from her trips to see the rabbits. SHe placed her palm on them and put them back on. Though it was nice to have it all off and have wind contact with her skin... nothing felt safer then having her armor back on.

The ground thudded at Shevas feet as she landed, though she wasn’t too into using jutsu.... that one was fun. With the two scrolls in hand, she walked into her home. She was happy that the attendants sealed the objects for her, one was labeled ’hardwear’ and the other ’tools’. As she walked through the house, she noted places that she wanted to objects. The Forge was a little empty so she decided that everything was going there, she placed the scrolls in a relative vicinity of the forge and slammed her palm onto the first one. The contents seemed to spring from it and she inspected them, they were a quality material. She began to place the contents of the first scroll around the forge, she placed them in order armor crafting would go for a better efficiency. Satisfied with the placement, she walked and did the same with the next scroll. Everything that came out was more of true hardwear. She organized them and inspected them closely.
Walking to the door of the forge, she looked back and was fully satisfied with the placement of everything. She’d never had her own personal workshop before and she intended to make full use of it when the time came. She grabbed a broom and started to sweep up the space, though she was going to be working for herself... there was nothing like a clean space. Wiping down surfaces and sweeping the floors, she wanted to be able to move and run around while making things in the space. The forge kept the room overall extremely warm and Sheva quickly realized that she was great full for the windows and open door. She placed the broom and cloths back in the corner and pulled out her small sketch book, she had a general idea; but it was going to be a test of her overall skill. She wanted to make something that would make her stand out during missions and a pleasing aesthetic.
She sat down outside and started to draw, she wanted something that was going to enhance her physically while being practical...Well as practical as she wanted it to be. She knew that she wanted armor like the one that was hanging upstairs. She liked the range of motion that was possible in that armor but she wanted more. She walked back into the main floor of her house and grabbed the chakra steel breastplate from the wall. She wanted to be able to use it as inspiration. She sat back down and began to sketch and gather ideas as to what she wanted to make fir herself. She adored her ability to form the Fuuton Element, she wanted to be able to lean on that if she needed to. This was going to be her first armor, she wanted it to be the best armor. She drew wings that attached from the back that were comfortable to wear. She looked at the things that she bought from Giman and knew exactly what she was going to do “ The Gilded Sphinx “ She said out loud. When she was a child, she read a story of a great hero that needed to answer the riddle of the sphinx. They had beautiful wings and were magnificent fliers.
She took down her measurements and took a deep breath in, it was time. She took took the chakra steel ingot and began to heat up large chunks of it, she made sure that each piece was shaped and cool... but not too cool as to make it less mailable. She grabbed the hammer from the wall and started to work and shape her first piece. Though it was chakra steel, it was rather easy to work with. Sheva felt her enjoyment rise as everything seemed to take a beautiful shape. She placed the front plate on the table to cool and began to do the same process on the back. Though she had no idea when she was going to make the signature, she knew that it would eventually come to her. Grabbing the front with tongs, she heated the two items together before the next step. This wasn’t to hard as she knew what she was doing... she walked over the grabbed her tools and set them to the side. It was engraving time. She pulled out the armor and doused it in water, the rapid cool in the water/acid bath made it a beautiful natural brown color. She placed it on a dummy and began to work on the chakra steel weave that was going to be installed throughout the piece.

Sheva took a polishing cloth from a drawer and began to polish the new armor, the shade of the chakra steel made it a beautiful amber and the woven feathers gave it a tribal touch. She loved this armor... an artist that loved their own creation. She looked around the room and realized that she had a few scraps of chakra steel from the armors creation. She finishing polishing the armor and picked every piece that she could find, though she had ryo... she didn’t want to waste anything. She began to think about her next creation. She wanted to make more something that would be able to compliment the body armor. With all the small pieces of chakra steel cleaned from the floor, she put on her new cheat plate and walked outside.
She wanted to test her new armor and what better time then the present, she slammed the palms together and wings exploded from the woven chakra steel threads. The wings felt good, they seemed to immeaditely lift her into the air. She looked at the horizon and began maneuvering herself to Giman one last time.

Sheva walked back to her home in Estia and was relived that she was able to gather more things for crafting. Though she didn’t necessarily have the space that she needed, she wanted to change that. She looked around her home and started to move things around. She started to deconstruct the things around her home and grabbed a hammer, she wanted to remodel her home. She needed a bigger place to be able to craft and learn. Villagers came and began to assist in the new construction of her home, Sheva was convinced that they saw the need for help. Expanding her home was on the forefront of her mind.
[[ Home expansion from Townhome (( 12500)) to Manse (( 20000)): difference paid 7300 ]]
Sheva stepped back and looked at the expanse of her home, though it was bigger then she would need... she wanted to be able to learn more within her home. Times were changing, she felt it on the breeze. She would have to be prepared for the things to come. She walked to the main contractor that was now present and discussed what expansions that she wanted to add, he pulled out a scroll and started to draw up the blueprints so that the other builders could understand.
[[ Rooms Present: Personal Forge // Rooms Added: Tatami Room & Study Room ]]

Sheva walked into her larger home and smiled, it would have everything that she would need to succeed in her own plans. Though it made a huge dent in her personal funds, she saw it as... an investment. She walked though the home, she realized that it wasn’t the shack that she had grown accustomed to... this was her home. The improvements were beautiful, the Tatami Room was beautiful and the Study Room was as perfect as she imagined it. She decided that she was going to train in these rooms as much as possible before she was going to go any further with her own personal smithing. She took the massive sword off her back and looked at it, it was beautifully made and held the Wind style chakra within its frame. She loved the ancient Swords of the MIst and this sword was in homage to them. Though it was heavy, she wanted to master it as soon as she could.
She started to swing the sword from side to side, she wanted to make sure that she was familiar with the dynamics of her blade and the space from her body to the blade. Though she loved this sword already, she wanted to fully master it before she was in any sort of confrontation. Displaying a round of diagonal slashes, she continued to test her own ability with the massive weapon.

Yuan, a young man with long flowing black hair wearing his usual kimono with green and black stripes and a white cloth draped over his shoulders and zōri , was walking on the small one way path to the deep forest, a map in hand, one eye keeping tabs on the signs around him and on the map simultaneously while the other was closed out of habit. “This is strange…” he mumbled while frowning slightly as he flipped the map upside down. Did I read it upturned or something?" he sighed as he continued to move forward. Eventually he reached the village outskirts and came upon a residence. Perhaps he would be able to ask someone for directions. He makes his way to the door.
Sheva opened the door and three construction workers walked out, they were laughing as Sheva stood in the doorway. It was the last of them but wouldn’t be the last time they saw Sheva. It was then that her eyes fell upon the man walking to her door, he looked like he was holding a man. She sighed and walked to her porch “How lost are you? “ She laughed to herself and waived the man closer, he didn’t look like too much trouble and she would have felt bad for making him just stand there “ You can come in if you don’t break my sh**. “
She crossed her arms and looked at him, though she had never seen him before... he looked more then capable

tabFinally managing to find her way out of the town Blue idly wondered if it was even worth it to travel all this way? Would Sheva even remember her? Blue hadn't the slightest clue. She sincerely hoped so. Since the lost of her former betrothed the Amazoness was the closest thing she could call a friend. With a lonesome sigh Blue shifted the katana at her shoulder and continued her journey, lost in an endless array of melancholy thoughts.
Arriving at the homestead a short walk later, Blue stood a good few paces back looking at it's vague shape in the distance. The swordswoman made no move to cross the distance. There were traps of varying kinds lining the overgrown grounds, some that blue could see, and some she could not. Rather than attempting to risk a path through the obstacles the woman picked up a jagged rock which she threw with juuust the right amount of arc to land tumbling on the stone porch. "Are mountains of deadly traps really how you treat old friends?" This was it, the moment of truth. A shiver tickled down Blue's spine while she waited for Sheva to open her door. Would she remember her? She looked different now, more full of herself. Would she recognize her voice? Would she be as excited to see her as the reverse was true?
Sheva walked onto the front porch and looked around, she thought she had heard something.... then her eyes fell to Blue. A smile burst across her face and Sheva laughed “ Well well look how it is! “ She placed her hands in the release handsign and small clicking noises could be heard all over the yard “ You can never be too ready! Get the hell over here! “ She was excited to finally see someone that she knew and respected, thus this far Sheva had been plying lone wolf; she wanted things to be different this time around. Sheva walked half way across the yard to meet Blue in the middle.
She looked around and scratched her cheek “ Should I expect a wedding entourage or did you scare him off? “ Sheva was always a fiesty girl, there was something about Blue that made her happy. Though through the academy they were slight rivals, Blue was always an objective girl. Sheva considered herself lucky to be able to stand toe to toe with someone like her “ Or did you kill him? I wont say anything. “

tabInstantly Blue relaxed when hearing the call of her friend. It was enough to put a smile on her normally down and out face. "Sheva!" In a pace that didn't match her emotions the swordswoman set her blade into the now disarmed greenery so that she might throw her arms around Sheva in tight embrace. With tears of joy were wiped on the corner of her sleeve before breaking said hug, no one needed to see that embarrassment. "God it's been ages, you don't know how nice it is to finally see a friendly face.." The events of the last few weeks playing through her mind, and then to bring up her bothered well.. it really had been a long time. How did she even begin to explain? "Ohh.. you mean Riuji..? That's kind of a long story. He left somewhere and I'm trying to find a way to free him from where he's trapped. That's part of the reason I'm here actually." Dropping to the ground, Blue kneeled with her forehead pressed into the dirt. Her most desperate form of apology. "I know you didn't ask for this, but I have nowhere else to turn to. I've since deserted from Arashigakure until I can find a way to free Riuji from his imprisonment. May I please stay with you until such a time that I an accomplish this?" The weight of the foolish burden Blue was trying to pass off on Sheva was not lost on her, harboring a fugitive from a village would likely warrant a swift punishment were they ever found out. Even if they weren't found and killed they would, at the very least, never be allowed to return to the village.
Upon hearing the plea of her friend, Sheva picked her up by her forearms “ We fall to no one here Blue and we never bow to anyone but the blade. “ She hugged hugged her friend “ I’ll do what I can to help you. “ Sheva placed her hands into the release handsign and a clone appeared next to her, though she didn’t want to leave Blue behind; there was something that she needed to do. The clone that was dawned in Shevas armor took to the sky and flew towards a familiar forest just south of the manse. She promised them that she would be back and the fully intended on keeping that promise. Using the Wing Manifestation was Shevas favorite thing at the moment; she would have to hold back. She looked at the girl and smiled “If we’re going to break him outta jail... we’ll need some help. “ Sheva was excited to show Blue her home. For Sheva, it had everything that she would need to help Blue further herself and for them to advance together “ So, there is a Tatami Room and small dojo on the grounds. I have been training a lot lately. “ She smiled “ I feel like this house has everything that I would need to become a better kenoichi. “
Sheva tended to take a lot of pride in her home, though there wasn’t much there... it had everything that Sheva wanted “ You can make yourself right at home. I know that we haven’t seen each other in a while but I hope that this house can give you everything that you need. “ She was sincere in what she said; she had spent a good majority of her time alone and now she enjoyed having someone around.

tabInstantly Blue felt pure relief at her friend's words. It was almost funny but up until that moment she found she had unconsciously banking on the fact that Sheva would have accepted her. Guess it was a good thing that she didn't need to come up with a plan B. Following closely behind, the swords woman felt a twinge of guilt watching a the clone go off to who knows where just to go through all the trouble of helping her. "Not that I don't appericate the help, but don't go wild over my sake.." Her words would come so muffled through her scarf that honestly she might not have said anything at all. Assuming Sheva gave no comment, Blue would take it upon herself to go inspecting through the dojo. Honestly the snug craftsmanship of it all was rather impressive, although she had come to expect no less than perfect front Sheva. "Thank you again, I honestly can't express how much this means to me. While I was here I actually had another plea that I was hoping you could help me with." Scratching the side of her cheek Blue considered what the best possible way to explain what her plan was. "I need to go to the sage lands. Well, not exactly the sage lands but I need to find a sage capable of injecting nature chakra into me." The idea sounded silly when she said it out loud but if what she had discovered was true, then this would be the only way to seek the power she needed.
The hairs on Shevas arm stood up on end and something caught the corner of her eyes, there was a rabbit hopping past the window. In that moment, she knew what had happened with the clone in the woods. A sudden surge went through her and she immediately shook it off “ An injection on natural chakra? I think I can do that now. “ She smiled but there was caution behind her eyes, though she wanted blue to have this seal... it seemed pretty dangerous “ Are you sure? I’ll do it but it might be painful. “ She rubbed her hands together and thought about what that would look like. Sheva knew what the natural chakra felt like when she was in the Vastwood before; it was heavy and almost overwhelming. Now, that same natural chakra that seemed to overwhelm her now felt calm and welcoming. But, would Blue feel the same way?
